Admiral's Multi-Thunker Lounge

[Admiral Q O]

Fruitie: So, how do you like the champagnes?

RCam: They're fine...but Dom Perignon is so...stereotyping, isn't it?
RWendy: I'm not too fond of dry...*bites lower lip* I think the Australian one has the best fruity flavor.
Sheppy: It has the coolest bottle. *chuckles*
RVal: I think we have a winner, Al. *smiles*
Alveus: *sets aside the Paringa Sparkling Shiraz*

[Admiral Q O]

Alveus: *notes order form* Okay, now we'll try the white wines.

Spoiler:

Crichton Hill Chardonnay, California


Brancott Sauvingon Blanc Marlborough, 2007, New Zealand


Pichot Vouvray, 2006, France


Cousino Macul Chardonnay Maipo Valley, 2007, Chile


Ruffino Pino Grigio Lumina, Italy

[Admiral Q O]

Fruitie: Isn't that Crichton Hill Chardonnay just the neatest thing?


Sheppy: I like it.

RWendy: Shouldn't we have a French wine though? Or people will think we're being cheap.
RCam: I doubt people will think that if we go domestic, hon.
RVal: I personally prefer the Pinot.
Alveus: I'll give you a bit more time to discuss it.

Thank you, hon. I believe RVal has you on the list for the bridal shower...and Sammie too if she's up for it. Hope to see you there.

Not a problem. I'd be happy to attend, and I'll let Sammie know.

*Jess and Sweetie beam in*

Jess: Hey everyone! Long time no see. Sorry about that, our beaming tech was on the fritz and was under a mountain of work...


Sweetie: Hey Lounge. What's going on? Everyone doing okay?

Sweetie: Hey Lounge. What's going on? Everyone doing okay?

Addy: Hi, guys. *hugs*

MJack: We're doing good...just waiting for the group over there to choose the wine and champagne for the reception so we can have an idea of the cost.

Alveus: RWendy, honey, the French wine is what they call and Off-Dry, and I think it might be too dry for your taste.
RCam: The man makes a good point, my sweetest. *kisses*
RVal: I still prefer the Pinot. *pours a glass for self*
Sheppy: You can't drink that until we finish tasting. *takes glass away*
RVal: Brat. *pfft*
RWendy: Okay...we'll go with the Crichton Hill Chardonnay. *smiles*
Fruitie: *bounces* Excellent choice! *puts bottle aside*

[JessM]

Jess: Hey, Addy. *hugs* Hey MJack! *blows kiss*


Sweetie: Hey guys. Oh, those wines sound quite good...
Jess: I wouldn't try any if I were you, hon...
Sweetie: Yeah, okay... *disappointed*
By the way, SweetSammie is going to be beaming over here in a few minutes to say Hi. She's coming along pretty well with the pregnancy. But I wouldn't make too many comments about it...she's a little self-conscious about the way she looks.

[Admiral Q O]

Alveus: Okay, lastly, the red wines.

Spoiler:

Ajello Majus Rosso, Sicily


Alma Rosa Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills, 2005, California


Guigal Crozes Hermitage, Rouge 2004, France


Clos de Los Andes Malbec Mendoza, 2005, Argentina


Skouras St. George Nemea, 2005, Greece

Sheppy: Ajello? They make Jell-o wine in Sicily?
RCam: *punches* Be serious.
Sheppy: I couldn't resist. *chuckles, winks at RWendy*
RWendy: *giggles*

Jess: Hey, Addy. *hugs* Hey MJack! *blows kiss*

RWendy: *waves, takes sip of water, tastes next wine*

MJack: They're almost done over there...then I'm beaming in a late lunch. Does SweetSammie have any particular cravings we could try to accomodate?

Addy: *walks to fridge* Would either of you like a soda?

Addy: *walks to fridge* Would either of you like a soda?

Sweetie: Sure, I could go for a soda. Thanks Addy.
Now that you mention it, she's had an addiction to potato salad...

[JessM]

*SweetSammie beams in*


SweetSammie: ...whoa...had to get used to that again... it's been a while.
*smiles shyly* Hey everyone!

[Admiral Q O]

Fruitie: Looks like we have a consensus?

RWendy: Yep! The Alma Rosa is simply dreamy. *tiny squee*
RCam: *pours out two glasses* Hey, Jess! You want to try this one? Its got dried berries in the mix...deep ruby color...very nice aftertaste. *smiles*

Alveus: *sets aside bottle* Okay, let me figure out how much 10 cases of each is going to cost.

MasterJack: Did he say 10 cases of each?
Addy: He's buying in bulk to get the best price.
MasterJack: We'll be drinking wine for a month!
